david begnaud is in one of those coastal towns, wrightsville beach, north carolina, where people already are on alert. david, good morning. >> norah, good morning. the sunrise is beautiful. already see some surfers. the water's quiet this morning. you wouldn't know we are standing in what could be the bull's-eye where hurricane florence makes landfall in the southeastern u.s. if florence hits here as a category 4, it would be the strongest storm to ever make landfall north of south carolina. people in wilmington, north carolina, are already stocking up on water, plywood and generators. store shelves are already empty. florence could be the first major hurricane to slam north carolina dead on since fran hit as a category 3 in 1996. fran toppled homes and businesses across the state. it caused more than $8 billion in damage. and 37 people were killed. >> these storms are catastrophic events. >> reporter: andrew wonderly works for a water conservation group in south carolina. he says the areas along the coast are particularly vulnerable to flooding. >> we're not prepared for these events. >
